I am very anti sunbeds due to the cancer risk that comes with having direct UV rays blast your skin.

I would go with the spray tan, but get it done a good 3 days before the wedding so all the excess has washed off.
My mum does spray tans at the salon she works at, Im having one done before my wedding, but just my back shoulders arms and face and legs not the belly.

ETA-Ive never had any probs with the tan fading either, it usually takes a good two weeks or so for it to come off my my skin.

I did the hoilday skin lotion stuff as I had a backless dress and really bad "racer back" swim suit tan lines.

It rubbed off on my dress, you could still see the tan lines a bit in the photos...

But to be honest when I look back at my wedding photos 12 months ago I think I looked pretty fine if I do say so myself ... at least compared to how I feel now ie ...8 months pregnant, fat, bloated and white. I look at my fake tan stained wedding dress and just wish I could still fit it.

Have a great wedding day don't stress about anything and have the time of your life. But stay off those sun beds.

I had a spray tan for mine (but I got it done in Aus).

I also did it a couple of days before the wedding and it didn't rub off on my dress. BUT it definitely rubs off on your clothes afterwards and they say to sleep on a towel or really old sheets for the first night because it will rub off. As someone else mentioned the key to not having it go patchy is to exfoliate before you go. I also didn't shower that night or the next morning and it was fine.
